About the Opportunity

We are hiring for an insurance agency serving South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia market. The agency is established, owner-led, and relationship-driven, with a strong reputation in commercial and personal lines. Its commercial work includes small to mid-size accounts with strong concentration in contractors, workers compensation, and landlord or investment property risks. The agency markets business through multiple carriers and positions itself as a tailored, service-oriented brokerage rather than a high-volume call-center environment.

Position Overview

This opening exists because the agency needs an experienced replacement tied to an approximately $3 million commercial book of business. The person hired will step into a meaningful working seat and will be expected to independently manage renewals, endorsements, carrier marketing, inbound account activity, and day-to-day client needs with minimal hand-holding. This is a strong fit for someone who wants real responsibility, close access to decision-making, and a long-term home inside a boutique agency.

Key Responsibilities

Commercial Book Management

• Manage an approximately $3 million commercial book of business
• Handle renewals, endorsements, certificates, service requests, and day-to-day client issues
• Maintain organized follow-through and strong service responsiveness across open account activity

Carrier Marketing and Coverage Placement

• Market accounts to multiple insurance carriers
• Review appetite, pricing, and coverage fit across carriers
• Support contractor, workers compensation, landlord, and other generalist commercial exposures

New Business and Cross-Selling

• Answer inbound new business calls
• Help convert inbound opportunities into placed accounts
• Identify cross-sell opportunities once established in the role and familiar with the client base

Client and Agency Collaboration

• Work closely with agency leadership in a highly visible owner-led environment
• Communicate directly with clients, carriers, and internal staff
• Operate effectively in a small-team setting where people are expected to cover the full scope of account-management work

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Required Qualifications

• At least 5 to 7 years of commercial lines account-management experience
• Experience independently managing commercial accounts, not just supporting a senior account manager
• Experience marketing accounts to multiple carriers
• Strong experience with contractor and workers compensation business
• Active New Jersey Property and Casualty license
• Strong client communication and account judgment
• Ability and willingness to work onsite in Cherry Hill full time
• Residence within a realistic daily commute or clear willingness to relocate for a fully onsite role

Preferred Qualifications

• Independent-agency background
• Small to mid-size generalist commercial-book experience
• Landlord or investment-property exposure
• EZLynx experience
• Cross-selling or account-rounding instincts
• Long tenure in prior roles showing retention and stability

Background, Clearance, or Eligibility Requirements

• New Jersey Property and Casualty license required
• No clearance requirement
• No degree requirement

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A seasoned commercial-lines professional who can truly own a book
• Someone comfortable in a boutique, owner-led agency with high visibility
• A practical, relationship-driven operator who values responsiveness and follow-through
• A candidate who prefers an in-office environment and does not need hybrid flexibility to stay engaged

• A person who can balance service execution with sound commercial judgment around remarketing and cross-selling
